I wrote a short response to @danielmingram about the mechanisms of change in vipassana meditation. https://parletre.wordpress.com/2019/06/23/response-to-ingram-2/ … @evantthompson @Meaningness @non_buddhism @Sciamanoinglese @redpillchange @ronpurser @SamHarrisOrg @Failed_Buddhist @ordinarymind1

It's interesting. Our third chat, coming out tomorrow, touches on a variety of related topics, but ultimately, my sense of Vipassana is that it's done so well in the US because it simplifies so much & is therefore so compatible with the allure of American Pragmatism.
This is an interesting thought. Given @evantthompson's comments, might we frame it like this: Vipassana interacts with the world in a particular way, as a prescribed religious ritual with a certain conceptual backdrop, and thus tend to generate certain forms of meaning-making.

Yes, it also opens up and closes off certain possibilities of experience, and thought. It will, like all systems, fail to guarantee the generation of those meanings, which is often where things get interesting, or problematic.

I suspect highly goal orientated, pragmatic approaches might lend themselves to specific forms of dysfunction that go beyond the trope of the Dark Night, as well as naive readings of personhood.
